Temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2 of the Dirac semi - metal (DSM) with phonon mediated pairing is considered within semi - classical approximation. The low temperature dependence deviates from conventional BCS superconductor with parabolic dispersion relation\cite{WHH} even for large adiabaticity parameter, γ=μ/(ℏΩ)., where μ is the chemical potential and Ω - Debye frequency. In particular the "reduced field", ratio of zero temperature to derivative at critical temperature, h∗=Hc2(0)/(−TdTdHc2)∣Tc, depends on γ and can be extended beyond the adiabatic limit. The reduced magnetic field ratio is universal (independent of the chemical potential, interaction strength etc.) and smaller than the Werthamer ratio for clean superconductors: h∗=0.55 for DSM, h∗(0)=0.69 for parabolic band. The results are in good agreement compared with recent experiments on TaP.
